Moberly, Mo.

Emergency Snow Route Streets - Moberly Police Chief Russell Tarr says, "We are very concerned with the prediction of the next storm coming in." Snow removal from last week's storm was a large undertaking for the City of Moberly but went well. With snow still remaining it is important for residents to be aware that under the City ordinance Section 16-287 several streets in five Moberly have been designated as snow routes. Those streets are targeted for snow removal when three inches or more of snow is on the ground. The city will enact the ordinance that states the city has the authority to tow vehicles from the streets. Chief Tarr is asking for everyone's cooperation and doesn't want to inconvenience anyone, but snow removal is of utmost importance. After the streets have been cleaned of snow the operators or owners of the motor vehicles may again park upon the emergency snow route streets with permission of the police department.

West Coates, 1000 through 500 blocks; Johnson, all; Franklin Street, 200 through 500 blocks; West Reed, College to Holman Road, Emerson, Reed to Highway 24; Holman, Fisk to Highway 24; Concannon, all; Diltz, Concannon to Myra; Myra, Diltz to Emerson; Hurley, Highway 24 to Jennings; Huntsville Avenue; Robertson Road, all; Fowler Road, all; Reed from Sturgeon to Johnson; Coates, from Morley to Johnson; Sturgeon, from Coates to Rollins; Clark, from Coates to Rollins; Williams, from Coates to Rollins; Williams, from Coates to Rollins; Fourth, from Coates to Rollins, Fifth, from Coates to Rollins; Rollins, from Morley to Johnson; and Johnson, from Coates to Rollins.

Before the police department orders the motor vehicle towed from a snow removal street, the police department may use reasonable efforts to locate the owner/operator of the vehicle parked on the street. If the vehicle is towed the cost of the towing is the responsibility of the owner/operator of that vehicle.
